Relevant for us in Florida and other states who have sought to ban social media for people under 16 years old. It forces everyone to identify themselves and lose more privacy on these platforms while also not protecting the kids the ban is intended to protect!

Today the Senate Commerce Committee advanced KOSA and three other bills from the "Surveillance Slate". We continue to oppose this legislation. These measures expand data collection, create new compliance burdens, and push age-verification infrastructure under the banner of child safety.

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665
The image is a graphic poster with a vibrant red background and contrasting dark purple text. At the top, it contains the message: “Senate Commerce Committee is taking up KOSA + SCREEN Act THIS WEDNESDAY” in bold white letters. Below this, in a larger, informal handwriting-style font is the phrase “TAKE ACTION” in yellow. At the bottom of the image is a phone number, “248-331-8665,” displayed inside a rounded rectangle in dark purple. The overall layout is eye-catching and designed to attract attention to the call for action regarding legislation.
